   I recently moved a couple of Rails projects to a VPS using Dokploy and couldn't be happier. Apart from the cost savings the bump in available resources is a big plus. It is astonishing how Heroku still gets away with 512 mb memory for

    I'm glad to see efforts towards improving Ruby on Rails security, it honestly keeps the framework still the most viable choice.

    Yaak is great, I have been using it since the launch Greg. I'm kind of curious why you picked Tauri over Electron for this one? I know one big benefit is smaller binaries but I'd love to know your thoughts behind this decision.

    I have been doing Ruby on Rails for ~14 years but ~10 years ago I was confused and I picked up Nodejs thinking it is the future of software development. It only took me a couple of months to realized what Ruby on Rails offers & the vibr

    FastMail, Cloudflare, GitHub co-pilot and OpenAI are some of the other services that comes to mind.

    Hetzner is one of those "just take my money" services, so more power to them. Besides, for some reason I always thought they charge hourly but show pricing in monthly format for easier pricing.

    AFAIK, UAE has a minimum threshold of ~$100k of turnover to get eligible for VAT so I'm not sure why were you penalized. Besides, is your stripe + company registered in UAE?

    nice! I'm curious to know why would you need Alpine or Htmx if you have one of them in your app? I thought they are mutually exclusive.

    by BilalBudhani 3y ago

    I would say - htmx ( https://htmx.org/ ) - Alpine.js ( https://alpinejs.dev/ ) both are minimal and very easy to get started.

    Interesting! I haven't made anything serious yet with the PocketBase (mostly due to lack of time & not anything to do with PB). I'm curious to know what kind of projects did you build using PB and how was your development expe

    I have been following PocketBase since its early day - what I absolutely love about this project is how it actively tries to avoid complexity and focuses on simple yet minimalist approach. Moreover, the ease of deployment by simply uploadin

    what did you use for view layer with Go? whatever I could gather looking at the Go ecosystem it seems you have to go with a JS framework for view layer and write APIs in Go. Rails' deep integration with view layer unlocks a great level

    I have been using Skiff for a month now and so far their service has been great. I love their custom domain & alias feature. Besides, I want my backup email address to be a non-gmail service to avoid complete vendor lock in.
